SHS. 11.75 billion in financial year 2013/14 only SHS. 5.93 billion (50.45% of the approved budget) was realized by end of December. The coverage for local revenue was very low (26.53% of the approved budget) because there are weak enforcement measures in the district and also there was sensitization of tax payers. Other Government transfers (Uganda Rehabilitation Grant) coverage was 92.68% because more funds were released by Uganda Road Fund than what was planned for the quarter. Less than a half of the Funds from Discretionary Government Transfers because several employees were not paid hard to reach allowances and some recruited teachers have not yet accessed payroll as at December 2013 Planned Revenues for 2014/15 In FY2014/15 the Local Government of Bukwo district expects to increase its budget by 18.01% (2.58 billion).

This is also to cater for pupil and student enrollments in Primary and secondary schools. Due to integration of NAADS programme with production sector, the NAADS budget was reduced. However, Local Development Grant reduced by 2.42% due to budget cut under LGMSD/LGDP, Donor Funding reduced by 1.57% due to budget cut by SDS and also USAID projects and Locally Revenues Reduced by 2.24% due to weak enforcement Measures to enforce tax collectors Expenditure Performance and Plans 2013/14 2014/15 Approved Budget Actual Proposed Budget Expenditure by UShs 000's end Sept 1a Administration 1,096,718 231,554 1,236,862 2 Finance 236,264 48,002 264,554 3 Statutory Bodies 463,634 81,576 460,058 4 Production and Marketing 1,218,566 132,650 498,246 5 Health 2,491,148 491,427 2,656,210 6 Education 4,771,548 1,274,046 7,530,822 7a Roads and Engineering 406,987 42,875 524,110 7b Water 512,749 56,893 506,424 8 Natural Resources 88,370 20,131 89,891 9 Community Based Services 329,474 74,223 403,736 10 Planning 74,407 8,597 99,676 11 Internal Audit 57,051 11,739 57,051 Page 3 Local Government Budget Framework Paper Vote: 567 Bukwo District Executive Summary 2013/14 2014/15 Approved Budget Actual Proposed Budget Expenditure by UShs 000's end Sept Grand Total 11,746,916 2,473,714 14,327,640 Wage Rec't: 5,842,674 1,464,605 8,567,372 Non Wage Rec't: 3,126,568 664,607 3,708,203 Domestic Dev't 2,308,072 228,010 1,589,728 Donor Dev't 469,601 116,492 462,337 Expenditure Performance in the first quarter of 2013/14 The approved annual budget is 11.75 billion and the cumulative receipt was SHS. 5.93 billion billion contributing to 50.45% of the approved budget.

Reduce HIV prevalence rate from 2.8% to 1% Challenges in Implementation The Major constrains faced in implementing district future plans are (1) Poor roads; This have caused frequent breakdown of vehicles and therefore high cost of repairing and servicing this vehicles hence affecting implementation of government programmes such as Monitoring and supervision of projects. The possible solutions are; Kapchorwa - Suam road should be Tarmacked and Funding by Ministry of Works for Routine Maintenance of Feeder roads should be increased (2) No hydroelectricity power. This have forced the district to use the generator to generate power which is very expensive because it uses 20 litres of fuel a day hence affecting implementation of government programmes like preparation and submission of reports to line ministries since it consumes most of the District unconditional Grant Nonwage Page 4 Local Government Budget Framework Paper Vote: 567 Bukwo District Executive Summary and at times the work which involves use of computers are not done because of no power. This can be solved by Extension of hydroelectricity power from Kween district by Ministry of Energy and installation of Solar Panels by development Partners (3) under staffing. This have affected effective implementation most activities in the district like planning unit and Natural resources.
